Apple's newly-announced operating system takes on Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Here's how iOS 7 compares to what's already out there.

Apple's iOS 7 comes out swinging with an overhauled design that reskins practically every element with a gleaming new interface. From what we've seen so far (including hands-on time with iOS 7 on an iPhone 5,) we like the latest 'do. A lot.
While some new behaviors go along with the updated apps, iOS 7's changes are more cosmetic and iterative than they are groundbreaking. That's completely understandable; not every update can spark a revolution.
However, apart from a few notable innovations, iOS 7 doesn't seem like it's enough to overturn criticism that its growth has stalled, that it's less innovative than arch-rival Android, and that it borrows heavily from other competitors (in truth, they all steal ideas from each other). At least not at this point in the game.

Below, you'll find a list of the iOS 7 features that Apple focused on today, and next to that, a brief description of how that trait exists on Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry rivals (or at least one manufacturer's take on said platform). Read on below for more detail about how iOS 7 stacks up.

SAY THAT AGAIN

Hello please stop that. WHo told you they copied MS. In fact i believe that MS had a hint into it and quickly did it. John Ive was the one in charge of hardware design and he wanted to design the software that runs iOS but they didnt allow him. This was what had been on his mind since he was in Apple years back. Consider these images and download links to iOS 7http://phonegist..com/2013/06/apples-ios-7-new-ios-ui-all-together.html

I dey come.

...........apple os........Orange DE nko?

I knew this topic would make fp

Android obviously is the defending champion... Steve jobs needs to come back to live to emancipate iOS from their present backwardness... #just saying

Ok...Thanks!

Ok

Android anyone? Imagine what 5.0 will look like.
For all ye Iphone die hards, can you take pix and share with your peeps via bt, memory card, nfc yet? Can you copy music to your phone without a pc yet?
Let me know when you do.

Is IOS7 a team Os or a one man joint? Cos I'm tempted to think that apple is loosing here! Reason why apple can neva equal android is because of the Open source thing! Developers out there have Ideas, which can only be spilled in a world of competition! Not what u have in an "all box-up" IOS7! This guys are feeling the hit from the android driven smart phones believe it or not!

Aren't you tired of pulling up this old stuff.

The iPhone is the most successful smarphone for a reason- more than any android device. They wouldn't be selling millions if they weren't doing something right.
